I've always been interested in this question, but I found a lot of confusing information.
I recently came across this article in Quora, and I wonder how accurate and verified this information is: https://www.quora.com/Who-holds-the-most-bitcoins
According to this article, it seems that Satoshi holds the most bitcoins, between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC.
The following are the Winklevoss brothers, with 91,666 bitcoin.
Next is Barry Silbert with 48,000 BTC.
Next in order are Tim Draper with $250,000 worth of BTC and Michael Novogratz with his crypto net worth to be around $700 million – $1 billion.
Do you agree with this assessment from the article or do you have more credible and accurate information?

We don't have a specific statistic, so we can't know exactly who owns the most Bitcoin right now. But there are rumors that Satoshi has the most bitcoins with more than 1 million bitcoins, and that bitcoins have never been moved, maybe that wallet key has been lost forever

In the internet world is full of scammers and hackers, exposing the amount of bitcoin that someone has does not seem very smart to me, so I wonder why the Winklevoss brothers bought bitcoin and did not keep their mouths shut? why did they have to share with everyone that they have a lot of bitcoins? are they looking for fame?

maybe the biggest bitcoin holder is satoshi nakamoto, no one knows for sure the most bitcoin holders, in my opinion the largest bitcoin is held by the community not individuals, unfortunately coinmarketcap only provides data about altcoin not the holder data, Grin

What do you mean community? Like bitcointalk community? The biggest btc holder are group of individuals or as they call it the whales who is trying to manipulate the market. Cryptocurrency exchange too are one of the biggest btc holder. Satoshi is long gone and he might not need btc anymore because the success of his creation is more than the worth of all btc in circulation today.

December 2015 a Bitcointalk member discovered a puzzle transaction while playing around with his bot:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13381244
At that time nobody declared such a puzzle transaction which was created January 2015 until the creator of that competition came out 2 years later:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18765941
As of 01/10/2019 there are still more than 100 BTC to win. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/archive-bitcoin-challenge-discusion-5166284

We think that the early mined coins of Satoshi are also a prize competition and that Satoshi is waiting this coins to be moved. We also think that he will not respond after somebody moves the first coins but it will be a message to the Bitcoin community that the private keys are somehow on the blockchain. If Satoshi disagreed with that conclusion he would have moved the coins to other addresses.

Re: Maybe Satoshi created the greatest prize competition https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/maybe-satoshi-created-the-greatest-prize-competition-5150688

Everyone could.

Satoshi definitely has the most bitcoins and they haven't moved for years. Either he knows it's going to be worth more than what it is at current time or he has lost access to it. Whatever may be the reason of Sathoshi's bitcoin not in circulation, it would further decrease the total supply.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of the article, is the article creator convinced that the one who holds the most Bitcoin is Satoshi? we never even know who Satoshi really is. Not necessarily true they hold Bitcoin I guess, on the other hand, we have to look for accuracy from other news sources

The most obvious bitcoin holder is Satoshi. With everything he has done for bitcoin so far,

that would be the thoughts of others too but am i the only one that think that satoshi himself dont own bitcoins ?

he only creates it but he does not have a special treatment to have instant bitcoins . if he wanted to have a bitcoin he will work hard to earn it but like i said earlier i think didnt have any because his purpose is only for the sake of other people and not by himself . he is smart so he is already wealthy and he isnt interested to sell btc because this will only contribute to the toxic of the price .

The most obvious bitcoin holder is Satoshi. With everything he has done for bitcoin so far, I'm sure he will use the rest of his assets to do the best for the welfare of cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin.
He has good goals for this environment, but there are some people who try to fake it.

On the same topic, I'm looking for information on how bitcoins are distributed by

2/ population age/genre/etc

Do you guys have references of studies talking about it?

There are many sources on the internet about it, You will just find it.

If you are finding a piece of exact information, It's hard to determine if it is legitimate especially that not everyone is showing their own assets and not everyone is admitting that they are holding some bitcoin, Survey test can be true to real statistics but I'm sure that it is only conducted in a slow scale.

This is one of the statistics that I found on the internet

We know how powerful bitcoin is especially in making transactions in the market anonymous, we don't even know if they still hodl that huge amount of bitcoin. But some personalities that you've mentioned for me I think is not really having that much volume. I know that the creator of the company bit instant is one of the huge hodlers of bitcoin based from the documentaries that I've watched, in addition, with regards to how much bitcoin satoshi has, there is no clear evidence that will prove it. Imagine, if you are the creator of the worlds leading currency technology, would you tell the world how much you have? absolutely not.

Absolutely no one will tell the world how much Bitcoin they hold, as it is not safe to disclose how much bitcoin they have. It is not that easy to predict also, even though its a digital world can't find Bitcoin address that easily. Gonna be frustrated by searching. First and foremost nobody Knows who is Satoshi is and how did they come to know so much bitcoin he holds ? Just through google ,internet Satoshi never told anywhere that he owns that much Bitcoin as he never revealed about himself.

Wake up! You're probably out of your mind. How can you earn the most bitcoin? Can you tell us how? So that we can believe in you. You're a joker. You just want to test if we know who have the most bitcoins. Now, we can't tell who has the most.

It is impossible for you to have the most because your post aren't related to the topic about bitcoin. I checked your profile.

Your comment doesn't reply to my comment above. So, I suggest you to not quote my comment and just quote Danny's comment.
You need to remember that I am not the one who said that statement. Grin

We are in the same boat replying to his comment.

if satoshi holds the most bitcoin, why is more frightening is news about hacked bitcoins and ponzi schemes, what should be scarier is satoshi nakamoto who holds a lot of bitcoin, but why doesn't he drop the price of bitcoin at all, this is a little weird in my opinion, I know some of the big names that hold a lot of bitcoin, I'm sure they haven't sold it cheaply under $ 10k

I have wondered exactly opposite of this.

Can we estimate how many bitcoins are lost..? I think it will be more than the top holder of Bitcoin.

in late 2017, chainalysis estimated that somewhere between 2.78 million and 3.79 million BTC are lost forever. https://fortune.com/2017/11/25/lost-bitcoins/

it's been 2 years since then, so it's probably safe to say the number is moderately higher now. 20% of the supply (~3.5-4 million BTC) is probably a reasonable estimate based on the studies i've seen.

I don't know but every time I see topics like this I don't know how to exactly react. We don't even know who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto so how are we supposed to know who owns the most bitcoins on Earth? Don't want to sound negative but I do hope there's a legit list or something to know who owns the most Bitcoins so we know how much is left and how many are lost and if there's a way to retrieve them so it won't be a waste.

We don't know if that was a reliable source or first hand source because on the first place we don't know who the real satoshi is. And probably there is a huge chance that he is the one who handles the most amount or number of bitcoin all over the world because he/she is the one who develop and invented of it, but the remaining 4 is we don't know if they are really the one who have the greatest amount of bitcoin because we don't know if there are someone who have a huge earnings of bitcoin out there and because the internet don't know those people because they are not exposing themselves to other people. Maybe because of security purposes and etc.

Me. I own the most bitcoins. Prove me wrong?

Nice joke. It is probably wrong. You will be quite busy to trade your Bitcoin if you have the most. I've checked your post history, your current posts were not in economics or trading discussion, so it means you are not monitoring the market trends. This makes me doubt that you are one of the people holding the most Bitcoin.

However, I think your intention is to make us aware that no one knows who is holding the most Bitcoins. Am I wrong?

Wake up! You're probably out of your mind. How can you earn the most bitcoin? Can you tell us how? So that we can believe in you. You're a joker. You just want to test if we know who have the most bitcoins. Now, we can't tell who has the most.

I think the FBI has most or if not most, the second most and will be in the list right after Satoshi if they were counted lmao. FBI actually uses crypto as a legal form of currency for exchanges on dark web and all those. It's a gang in itself and operates pretty similar like a cyber gang and thief xD
